We bought paper license for Windows 7 Professional for a laptop... the laptop has now stopped working. Can I re install Windows 7 in a new laptop using the previous button?

Operating system - Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Type of license - license paper

If previous key provided with the laptop dead, no, you cannot transfer to a new laptop. OEM licenses are not transferable:

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
